We buy the cheap store-bought pizzas (I call them skinny pizzas), then
tart them up the way we like them at home.

Senyah likes pepperoni, so I add a few more slices of pepperoni to
hers. I like Sausage and pepperoni, and add pepperoni, extra
mozzerella, olives and sometimes onion, tomato slices and jalepenos.

Last week, I found a jar of jalepeno-stuffed olives, which is perfect
for my pizza, so I picked up a jar. Tonight we had skinny pizzas for
supper.

Senyah's pizza is cooking, and I'm working on mine. I'm slicing up
some of the olives, and putting the slices on my pizza. Bucky is
watching from one side of the counter and Little Boy is watching from
the upper part of the counter (we have a two-level counter).

Both boys are sticking their noses down into the olive jar, and trying
to get at the olives. Now, i know olives are frequently pickled with
valerian root, which cats love, so I slice off little bits of olive
for the boys. They don't want the olive bits.

I slice off little bits of jalepeno for them, and they gobble them
down. They lick their chops for a while, getting at the jalepeno oil,
no doubt, but both boys meow for more. So I gave them a little bit
more.

I had to actually guard my pizza tonight. Usually, none of the cats
are interested in our food, but tonight, I kept seeing certain grey
paws reaching for my uncooked pizza.

Litterbox time is probably going to be really stinky tomorrow...

Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

How do they do it?  Stinky has an asbestos tongue and tummy -- spicy
things turn him into an unstoppable begging, stealing and snatching
machine.  He *sticks his head* into the jalapenos chips bag, and
emerges with a mouthful which he tries to run away with and chomp
under some piece of furniture so he can blow his little ears off in
peace.  I really don't know what to make of this.  I've never seen any
ill effect, but I can't believe it's good for him.

It's very strange. It's not like there are jalapeno-flavored rodents
out there, so where did they get a taste for it??

Next time put some Dave's Insanity Sauce on a chip & let Stinky take a
whiff.  If that doesn't stop him from chompin' the chips, nothing will. Be
sure to be careful with the bottle and use it sparingly, it's some
seriously hot (habañero peppers) stuff.

I don't think cats perceive chili the way we do.  My Mingus could eat
vindaloo-strength curry by the bowlful.  What he *didn't* like was
pungent smells - mustard, horseradish or mint.

My question is, though, that while they might not taste it going *in*,
what must it feel like going *out*? One of the reasons I can't eat
very spicy food is because I get the worst abdominal cramps - probably
the hot seeds working their way down my colon. I'd be worried about
making my cat sick eating that stuff. Although it sounds like your cats
(yours and Theresa's) don't have any ill effects. That's pretty amazing.
